SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS SCALE
General
The Model 498KL remote display digital scale uses highly sophisticated microprocessor
technology. Each precision scale is designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable
weight measurements. In addition, each scale is designed to provide the user with features that
make the weighing process simple, fast, and convenient.
This scale is set up to use motion-sensing weighing technology in order to determine the actual
weight of a moving patient.
Weight can be displayed in pounds (lb) or in kilograms (kg). For privacy and convenience in
use, the scale features a remote display head which may be held by the operator, placed on a
table or other flat surface, or mounted on a wall. This scale can be powered using an AC
adapter (not included), or by 6 - AA batteries (included).

DISPLAY ASSEMBLY WALL MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: When wall mounting the display assembly, ensure that the
mounting location is free of electrical lines, gas pipes, and other safety
hazards. Ensure that wall is of construction that can support the display
assembly.
Note: Remote head can be mounted to a wall up to 6 feet (1.83 m) from the base or it can be
mounted on the display bracket (included) for placement on a table up to 6 feet (1.83 m) from
the base.
Note: For wall mounting, mount display assembly directly to the wall do not use display bracket
for wall mount. Display bracket is for surface use only.
1. Position the display assembly on the wall, and carefully trace around the
display outline.
2. Mark a level horizontal line, 2-¾” (70 mm) below the top of the display outline.
3. Mark a vertical line 3.1” (80 mm) from each side of the display outline.
4. Use the appropriate plastic or metal anchors for the type of wall construction.
5. At the horizontal and vertical intersection, carefully drill the appropriate sized
holes.
6. Insert the anchors into the wall, and screw the two mounting screws into the
anchors. Adjust the screw head depth such that the screw heads protrude
1/8” (3.2 mm) from the wall.
Warning: Extending the screw heads beyond 1/8” (3.2 mm) can damage the
display assembly.
7. Position the display assembly mounting holes onto the mounting screws and

Weighing a Patient
Note: When this scale is turned on, it will always default to the settings and units last used (LB
or KG).
1. Make sure there is no object on the scale platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the display assembly on.
3. Wait until the “0.0” LB or “0.0” KG appears on the display.
4. Ask the patient to step on the scale. The scale will begin to display weight information and will
lock on the patient’s weight when the stable weight of the patient is determined. Depending on
the movement of the patient on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto
the weight.
Caution: To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire
weighing event.
5. The weight may be held on the display by pressing the HOLD/RELEASE button. To release,
press the HOLD/RELEASE button again.
6. After the weight measurement has been taken and recorded, have the patient step off the
scale.
7. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale off.
BMI Function
Body Mass Index is another name for Quetelet Index, a formula that is a convenient indicator of
BMI with various exemptions, such as athletes, children, the elderly, and the infirm.
Note: The scale will not calculate BMI for a patient that is 24 pounds (12 kg) or less. If a height
is not entered for the patient within 30 seconds of pressing the BMI button, the scale will return
to the normal weighing mode.
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale on.
3. Wait until the “0.0” LB or “0.0” KG appears on the display.
4. Ask the patient to step on the scale. The scale will begin to display weight information and will
lock on the patient’s weight when the stable weight of the patient is determined. Depending on
the movement of the patient on the scale, it may take several seconds for the scale to lock onto
the weight.
5. Once a weight has been displayed, while the patient is still on the scale, Health o meter
recommends performing a second weighing by pressing the REWEIGH button.
6. After obtaining the patient’s weight on the scale, press the BMI button while the scale is on.
7. The scale will prompt you to enter the patient’s height. Use the keypad ▲ and ► buttons to
enter the patient’s height.
Note: When weighing in pounds, the height is displayed in inches. When weighing in kilograms,
the height is displayed in centimeters.
8. Once height is keyed in, press the ENTER button.
9. The display will show the patient’s BMI.
10. Press the ENTER button to return to the normal weighing mode of the scale.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
The following pages provide instructions for maintenance, cleaning, calibration, and
troubleshooting for the 498KL scale. Maintenance operations other than those described in this
manual should be performed by qualified service personnel.
Caution: Before first use, or after long periods of non-use, check the scale for proper
operation and function. If the scale does not operate correctly, refer to qualified service
personnel.
1. Check overall appearance of the total scale for any obvious damage, wear, and tear.
2. Inspect the AC adapter for cord cracking or fraying, or for broken/bent prongs.
Note: This scale is an extremely sensitive weighing device. If the auto-off function is disabled,
battery power will be consumed.
Cleaning
Proper care and cleaning is essential to ensure a long life of accurate and effective operation.
Caution: Disconnect the scale from the AC adapter power source prior to cleaning the
unit.
1. Clean all external surfaces with a clean damp cloth or tissue. Mild antimicrobial or
antibacterial soap and water solution may be used. Dry with a clean soft cloth.

CALIBRATION
Calibration
This scale has been factory calibrated, and does not require calibration prior to use. If
required, the scale can be calibrated. Calibration of your 498KL scale is performed using
kilograms (KG) or pounds (LB), according to the units of measure used upon entering into the
calibration path. The following calibration assumes the scale is set to pounds, and 100 (40 kg) /
200 (80 kg) / 300 (120 kg) / 500 (200 kg) lb is employed as the calibration standards.
